Start : The Woodpecker, Wash Common (RG20 0LU) Grid ref. SU 453 635
(S/E) Turn right out of the pub car park, and go West about 400 yards along the road.
(1) Then take a footpath on the left which leads over a bridge (into Hampshire) and follow the path forward along a tributary stream to a pair of stiles.
(2) Go left down the cottage drive to the A343 road. Cross over and take the tarmac lane, staying on the level for about 3/4 mile where a footpath diverges at a fine angle to the right.
(3) Follow this for 1/2 mile when it climbs to meet the drive of a house.
(4) Before this meets a road, take the footpath through trees that bears right (South) parallel to the road. This meets a track that curves right downhill and arrives at some cottages.
(5) Instead of going forward uphill, take the marked footpath left down the side of one of the houses, pass a tennis court on the right and follow an indistinct path through a wood, emerging through a stile and along the edge of a paddock with a ditch to the left and the fence on the right. At the end go over a stile and out through the 5 bar gate onto a lane.
(6) Turn right and follow the lane past farm buildings on the left to its end at a metal gate. Go forward about 200 yards, where the path takes a right angle turn to the right.
(7) Go across the field for about 1/4 mile to join the lane you used on the outward journey.
(8)Turn left and retrace your steps to The Woodpecker pub. (S/E)
